Description

Metline is a specialist manufacturer and supplier of 446 stainless steel tubes with Bright Annealing (BA Tube) or Polishing (Surface Roughness Ra 0.18). We produce 446 stainless steel tubes outside diameter 6mm upto 5″, in wall thickness upto 10mm. Metline is a professional producer of both thin wall and thick wall stainless steel tubes, with exports to over 70 countries across the globe. In addition to 446 stainless steel tubes, we can also produce and supply related tube fittings such as ferrule fittings, compression fittings, and couplings and valves.

Pipes are used to transport something, and tubes to construct something; hence, tubes are defined by the outside diameter and wall thickness (for construction stability), and pipes are measured by inside diameter to allow a calculation for transportation viz., speed, volumes, etc.

About 446 Stainless Steel Tube

Stainless Steel 446 is a high chromium ferritic stainless steel commonly used in high temperature applications from 1500 degF to 2200 degF. SS 446 is the most oxidation resistant steel among the 400 series stainless. SS 446 resistance to cyclic oxidation is equal to or better than SS 309 and SS 310, but has lower strength at elevated temperatures.
